Q: Is it true that system 7-based software must have been written to take advantage of dual-core G4 architecture available in MDD towers?
My employers built a complex data processing system around an application written for system 7. What is the highest-performance OS9-bootable machine? My guess was the dual-core MDD towers, but I seem to remember reading on a forum something about the software needing to have been written to work with a dual-core setup.
My bosses are very reluctant to attempt a crossover to a new setup. We'd need a 'break' in the workflow, but there hasn't been one since the early 90s. I'm also considering attempting to max out the hugest performance machine that'll run classic and see how that works with their software. Input about that would be profusely appreciated as well.
Thanks folks!
